Frequently Asked Questions
How do I price color services accurately?
Track product grams used per formula and cost per gram, add developer and supplies, then apply time at your hourly rate. Color product commonly costs $10–35 per service — guessing it is how color loses money.
Should I charge for extra color on thick or long hair?
Yes — "additional bowl" charges of $15–30 are standard when a formula exceeds your base allotment. State it on the menu so it never surprises a guest at checkout.
What margin should color services target?
After product and time, color should match or beat your cut margin. If a 2.5-hour balayage nets less per hour than a 45-minute cut, reprice the balayage.
